In 2001 Laser Spectacles was contacted by National Geographics photographer Joe McNally to stage some photos with lasers for an article he was working on called "The Power of Light"

Joe followed around Tim Walsh and Laser Spectacles for a week in Feb. 2001, and shot 65 rolls of film! One of his favories was published on the National Geographic website, a special portrait of "Tim Walsh at work."

One of the special projects that Joe McNally and Tim Walsh pursued was to wrap ballet dancers in 200 feet of side-glow, laser illuminated Lumenyte optical fiber. See the results "here."

Joe also arranged for a posse of Houston Ballet dancers to come meet us in Austin in a rave warehouse set up by Tim with his laser show - Joe arranged the dancers in between Tim's laser show to great effect. While this shoot was not used on the web site, some of the pictures can be seen in this special video National Geographic created for the Power of Light:"Power of Light Video"

All in all, it was a great experience! There was a picture from and LSI show and a quote from Tim in the article, published in the October 2001 National Geographic magazine.
